You should also consider that, for certain purposes, revoking your consent may result in us being unable to provide you with the service you requested or in the termination of your relationship with us.

To revoke your consent, you must submit your request in person at our offices.

The revocation of consent can be done at any time, and it does not have retroactive effects. To start the revocation process, you must clearly indicate in writing to the addresses provided or by email to travelportal@travelportal.com.mx which consent you wish to revoke.

Travel Portal will notify the owner within fifteen business days, counted from the date the request for access, rectification, cancellation, or objection is received, of the determination made.

If the owner requests access to data from a person they presume is the responsible party and this turns out not to be the case, it will be sufficient to inform the owner of this through any printed (letter of non-acceptance) or electronic (email, optical media, etc.) means, in order to consider the request fulfilled.

Travel Portal may deny access to Personal Data, or the rectification, cancellation, or objection to the processing of such data in the following cases:

2. When the Personal Data of the requester is not in our database.

3. When the rights of a third party are affected.

4. When there is a legal impediment, or the resolution of a competent authority restricts access to the Personal Data or does not allow rectification, cancellation, or objection.

5. When rectification, cancellation, or objection has already been carried out.

The denial mentioned above may be partial. In such cases, Travel Portal will perform the required access, rectification, cancellation, or objection.

In all the above cases, Travel Portal must inform the reason for its decision and communicate it to the owner or, if applicable, to the legal representative within the deadlines set for that purpose, through the same means by which the request was made, and provide any pertinent evidence.

Travel Portal is not obliged to cancel Personal Data when:

After the blocking period, the corresponding deletion will be carried out.

The blocking period will last until the corresponding legal or contractual prescription period.
